TIGER terrorists (LTTE), now breathing its last in the “New Safety Zone” is hell-bent on doing whatever possible to stop the last leg in the rescue operation at international level, particularly after regenerating its Media propaganda machinery to the hilt presuming that a last-minute “do-gooder” would save the day miraculously.
Live video footages, purported to have been taken by independent aid workers or world agencies, engaged in relief work in the “New Safety Zone” are largely used in this Media plot with the express intention of tarnishing the Army image and mustering foreign support for a last minute foreign intervention.
Harrowing tales, plastered with ghastly bloodbaths of infants, children, pregnant women and adults are overwhelmingly used for this Media blitz. In some instances, with the support of respective local politicians in areas where terrorist supporters are living, those visuals have found their way into TV stations too. Gullibility in the western hemisphere found expression through those visuals since those people were unaware what was going on in the field taking what they say for granted.
The Sri Lanka Army, as one of the most responsible and professional wings pooh-poohs terrorist Media manipulations and firmly asserts that it would continue its rescue operation with precision and offering maximum protection to entrapped civilians in the remaining patch of land of less than 2 sq km. The public are therefore advised not to get misled by those diabolical lies and technically manipulated stories to the advantage of the world’s most ruthless terrorist outfit.
